Label with border standard size

[jenniferchavez]

Is there a way to make a label that has a circle border that is always the same size? Right now it adjust to the text size and how many letters are in it. But i need it to be a standard size circle every where. Otherwise I have to put text in by hand.

Use a BLOCK that is a Circle instead...

Within Label Style Composer slect add BLOCK and chose your predefined Circle Block.

THAT IS COOL, IS THERE A WAY TO GET IT TO LEFT AND RIGHT JUSTIFY? AND CONNECT TO A LEADER?

[mjfarrell]

yes, only that part is a little more than tricky to accomplish in a text message.

First is it the Circle you want to justify, or is it the text, or the Leader?

The text justification is set in the Label Style Composer, using the FORMAT Tab

The Circle would be controlled by which quadrant you used for your insertion point, rather than using center, or by using center, and then adjusting the X,Y offset values for the label component

for the leader you may discover that you will want a Right and Left justification version due to an issue with the use of AS COMPOSED within the dragged state.

It was the leader... Darn as composed....

Then you will want (need) to create a Left and a Right hand version for your needs.

is there a way to get rid of the landing on the leader?
